Yet another ridiculously obvious shilled Cobb

That's assuming potential buyers are paying attention. If they are careless or new, they may not know what's going on and that type pounces on buyers like that. Let the buyer beware, but sometimes they can't help themselves.

Ah, ok I see what you mean now, and I agree. I wasn't sure if you noticed it was the same seller, but I see that you did.

I did. It's new buyers and inexperienced buyers that mostly get screwed over by sellers like this. The rest that get screwed aren't cynical enough of ebay or are careless and sometimes clueless.

This Cobb T3 is almost over and the shill bidding is extraordinary -- I think all the top bidders are shills. Somewhere Rick Probstein and the dude who loves his girlfriend but hates San Quentin from PWCC are blushing.

I saw this T3 cobb which is closing in a few hours and wanted it as I'm building the T3 set. I didn't realize it sold a few days ago, listed by the same seller. I've been bid up by the same "winning bidder" Last time. I asked and this bidder didn't buy it nor the under bidder. I don't believe it. I stopped bidding and sent a message to the seller for an explanation.

Yes, the same "winning bidder" who the seller claimed didn't pay last week for the card. Seems he's allowed to bid on this one too, solely to drive up the price again. I'm assuming you're presently the underbidder?

Snipe.

I am the under bidder. I kept bidding from 3k and kept being bid up. I asked why he allowed this bidder to bid on this auction and he replied that he can not stop a bidder from bidding in his auctions. I let him know he can and should.

Um, Cory, the top bidder is a shill. Who on the planet would allow a guy bid again who apparently the day after the last auction ended told the seller he wouldn't be paying for the card?
